Demand for video and data traffic on the internet is rocketing. Cue Cisco and the next generation hardware for telcos.

4 years development and $200 million has put Cisco in a position to reap some serious profits from the ever increasing demands being placed on the internet. The new Cisco router, ASR 900, is capable of 6.4 terabytes throuhput every second - that’s some serious bandwidth for downloading ‘men’s entertainment videos’! Here’s an idea of how fast this router is: you could download 250,000 songs or 200 movies in ONE SECOND!

The new router should help telcos cope with the tidal wave of data currently being experienced,wel, at least until some bright spark gives us Gig ADSL connections to our houses!
